Grateful to @JAMAInternalMed for inviting us to discuss the tragic Lāhainā wildfires & the urgent need to update cause of death coding to account for climate-related deaths. The rise in #climateDisasters warrants a critical reexamination of ICD coding to best track #climateHealth

Researchers @KekoaMDPhD, @jeremyfaust, and Kauanoe Batangan highlight the devastating impact of Maui wildfires and emphasize the importance of integrating Native Hawaiian values for resilient restoration. ja.ma/3XUvjiN
